Would be nice if chess.com gave a way to bring up all past brilliant moves… new here but if there is a way to request the feature let me know
I don't know

Brilliant moves often are in gambits, pinning, and forking.
Nowadays for me, I often get brilliant moves like my first double brilliant
The white knight cannot be taken because of loss material and due to the pin when pinned
I actually store my brilliants in what's called chess.com "Library" so I can keep track of brilliant moves
I do have another brilliant move to!
This brilliant move is caused by forks, sacrificing the queen to gain extra material.
I have 200 elo and got 2 games with brilliant moves in a row😭

I have no idea what that is even supposed to mean? All I'm concerned about is will it make me a better chess player?
I think a brilliant move is when you sacrifice an important piece like knight bishop rook or maybe even queen. I got one yesterday for the 2nd time (ever) and I thought it was a blunder but here you go (don't mind my elo this is an alt account I made like 2 days ago)
